The Seahorses – of the Ebac Northern League – beat Evo-Stik Premier outfit Blyth Spartans 2-0 at Hillheads last night, after last week’s original quarter-final at Croft Park ended goalless.

Elsewhere in the last eight, West Allotment Celtic and Morpeth Town host North Shields and Ashington respectively tonight, while Bedlington Terriers entertain Newcastle United Reserves next week. But following a “professional performance” against Spartans, Whitley captain Robinson is confident his side can extend their own run in the competition.

“It was a really good win from a good, professional performance,” said Robinson.

“We got a goal in each half and the lads at the back were excellent in keeping Blyth quiet. It could have gone either way last week but we knew it was a good chance to get through tonight, playing at home. We took the game to them and got the goals.

“Now we’re looking forward to the draw for the next round, and we definitely believe we can win this competition, why not?
